25 Reviews for Juicy Burger
This place is good, haven't been there in awhile, but I'm pretty sure I remember the price's being a little over priced..I might be confused with another place though. They have hella bomb onion rings and their burgers are hella good and huge. What's best is that you get to put all the veggies&&sauces on yourself so you don't have to really worry about someone ruining your burgers. The area where the veggies are put out is a clean area which is good to know. I also think that the lady that owns it looks like tha GROWING UP GOTTI BOYS MOM VICTORIA. haha idk, that's just my thoughts

Juicy burger...WTF is Juice? I want that purple stuff...(i love Dave chappell)
This place has that whole in the wall feel to it. I got the bacon burger and it was good. Nothing to write home about but good. The condiments were fresh and the place was clean. I guess that's all you can ask.
Major props for all 49er stuff up. Go Niners!!
I like this business and the food they serve. Turkey burgers cooked fresh to order, by people who value customer service.
This place should change it's name to "Dry Piece of Crap Burger" because that's what me and my boyfriend got there. I heard that before they changed ownership they were great, but now from what I experienced, they place is dirty, people are unfriendly, and above all their burgers are NOT JUICY AT ALL!
Ive always had a pleasant experience eating here.
While the manager may look intimidating at times and not very approachable, the other lovely ladies working there are very nice.
The burgers taste great...made to order..
The condiments were very fresh and very accessible.
The only problem is sometimes its way too crowded in there and you don't have anywhere to park/sit down. When you get there before closing time...they can get grouchy...be careful ;)
I recommend the chili cheese fries...they are very yummy...mmm...goooooddd...hehe
its a bit pricey but a great burger place nonetheless.

I used to live a few blocks from this place so whenever we wanted turkey burgers we just walked donw the street. The Same woman was behind the counter every time. I think she works 7 days a week. She is the nicest person and always chatted with us while we ate. They make pretty decent burgers and fries which are made to order so they are always fresh. I liked their chili too. It was real meaty and real greasy. I don't know why but my mouth always starts watering when I think of it. We always looked like we were wearing meat flavored lip gloss when we were done eating a bowl. Hahahhaha
MMmmmm meaty and glossy.
All of the condiments are served buffet style and are always fresh. If you are in the area and don't mind a no frills place to eat a good burger then stop on in.

Sorry. Not the best Juicy Burger experience. I liked the one in Los Gatos that closed down several years back. But it wasn't bad. Definitely better than an alternative fast food burger joint. I ordered the Turkey burger. Two things made me believe the burger would be awesome. The place was covered in sports paraphernalia from the 49ers to Giants to Saber Cats, which meant the big boy athletes liked the place. The grill was pretty hefty and the burger was cooked patiently to avoid it being left raw. But when I got the Turkey burger, it tasted kind of mealy. Look, I generally don't mind, but I've gotta say that images of cadaver went through my head. What were the chances? Anyway, I sucked it up and salted that sucker up and gave it a few shakes of habanero Tabasco and I was good to go. Kind of sounds sick, but I was craving some protein and it turned out pretty good anyway.

This is a cool burger place. Great location, too. The staff are very friendly... I guess the woman taking the orders was the owner/manager. Anyway, I told her that it was my first time & she recommended the Turkey Sandwich. Well, the turkey was good, not well done & dry. This is one burger place that uses flames to cook their burgers. Then, after you get your burger, you have to make your own -- the way you want it -- by choosing what you want to add to it from their condiment bar, which was all laid out nicely & neatly. So I helped myself with onions, tomato, lettuce, mayo, & their BBQ sauce!
I paid almost $11.00 for the sandwich, onion rings, & a soda. So I gave it a 3-star only for it was indeed a pricey sandwich meal :-(

Burger is OK. They should change the name to "Fresh" Burger instead of juicy burger...the cook kept pressing and poking into the burger as it was cooking, releasing the juices!!! If you a burger cooker, you should know never to press the burger, poke it, etc....just leave it alone! Flavor was good (char-grilling helps), not the best burger ever, but adecent option if you have a burger craving...
Very much disappointment when i get the BBQ chicken, it was insulting, very insulting... i left the place deciding never to come back here. The guy threw the chicken box opened towards me, he even did not close the box and no bag was given with it. It was definitely rude and bad behavior.
I wont recommend this place until they learn how to treat customers.
I had originally tried the Juicy Burger on El Camino Real and loved it. This location is also very good! But, I "think" the prices were a bit higher at this location. The burgers are great! I love the fact that I can add all my own topping's. I also tried their falafel and it was very good too.
This location also has a "garden burger" which I haven't tried, because she mentioned it was the type of garden burger that you can actually "see" the vegetables, and that is not typically the kind of garden burger that I like. (I might cave in and try it next time just to confirm ;)
The only thing that we didn't think were that great, were the onion rings which crumbled in our hands, and were very greasy. Also, the ambiance of the place is definitely nothing fancy... so I wouldn't recommend anyone taking someone here for a first date! ;)

Pretty OK, honest cheeseburger, not fat and friendly service. Now the location sucks, it's pure suburbia !
Finally tried this place after years and years of driving by wondering. Based somewhat on my reading of reviews here.
The burger was very good. Slightly small for the price, though. Properly cooked and generally tasty, the condiment bar literally topped it off to a T.
I opted for onion rings, and while they were perfectly fine, they weren't necessarily a signature side order or anything. I stuck with soda for a bev, maybe a shake would have rounded it out nicely.
I probably would have gone with 3 stars based on the price. I mean, some bacon and onion rings put the whole thing north of $10! If it were maybe $7 or $8 for the whole thing I would have felt a little bit better about it. BUT, the people working there later in the evening were very friendly and the place (under current ownership) has a family sense to it, hence the extra star.

This is my favorite burger joint!
They close rather early, so I don't get to go as often as I'd like since I no longer live in the vicinity, but whenever I get the chance and am in the mood for a heavenly cheeseburger, this is the first place that comes to mind.
I am one of those people who like my burgers with specific condiments: lots of tomatoes, lettuce, onions but absolutely no pickles (except on the side) and no ketchup, or mustard. Juicy Burger makes this easy without having to trust the order-taking abilities of the clerk - - by having a fully stocked, fresh condiment stand where you can add as you please and skip whatever you don't want.
By the time they hand you your burger, prepared exactly as you requested, you take over your tray to the condiment bar, add whatever you want and VOILA - you now have the best, juiciest and most flavorful burger you can hope for. Really hits the spot!
Good fries, too, but by the time I am done with one of these, I barely have any room for fries.
Price-wise, it is a bit more expensive than a typical fast food joint but there is no comparison when it comes to taste and quality of ingredients. Definitely, give it a try if you're closeby!
I can't understand why my coworkers liked this place... I never really enjoyed coming here. The burgers I make for BBQs are way tastier and juicier then Juicy Burger. If the price of JB was maybe a dollar or two less, it'd equal the satisfaction and I wouldn't mind returning.
You order your patty, wait. wait some more. Pickup your order then layer on the condiments/toppings of your choice, as much or as little. But for a $7 burger, you better make sure you get your values worth from a generic patty.
Not a pepsi lover.
Very very good. I am a burger queen...not to be confused with the Burger King...
Took my son and husband here for lunch today. Not a bad burger. Cost us an arm and a leg though...my kiddo ate like 3 bites of his (ugh!) We ordered two meals and an extra burger (came with 2 fries and 2 drinks), cost us just over $20. Not outrageous, but still.
A very good burger and very friendly service! Amal is a sweetie!
Yeah, we will probably come back!
I loved the fresh veggie bar so I could OD my burger with pickles! And since my son loves black olives...I loaded him up on those! Niiiice!
Make sure you tell 'em how you want your burger cooked and decide what cheese you want (swiss, american, cheddar).
Parking? HAH! Fat chance...we had to park in the Pizza Hut lot and walk over...then when we get to the restaurant...there are two spaces right in front of the door! Hmmm Whateva!
This place has really changed ever since "Amal" took it over. Don't get me wrong, the food still tastes the same, but the portions are cut down a bit. As Rich Y. explained in his review, the 3 strips of bacon is of the past; they only give 2 strips of bacon now.
The burgers are cooked medium-well and always juicy. The condiment bar is one of the best I've ever seen in a burger joint. I help myself to a couple pickle spears and sweet peppers. I usually get the #5: 1/3 Burger (add bacon), small fries, and medium soda. It costs about $8 after tax. Not a bad deal at all.
Note: They charge $.25 for refills so drink responsibly.
Interesting Halal burger no-alcohol sports bar in a Korean strip mall. After encountering a closed Korean Fried Chicken store http://www.yelp.com/bi... we retrenched and couldn't resist checking out the Juicy Burger. I like the fresh cooked char-broiled burger and the condiment bar. Not sure what makes a Halal burger different from anything else. It tasted pretty good. The price did seem a bit high. A mushroom burger with fries and drink were over $10. If you want to get a good sports fix in the middle of the day though it has a strangely good vibe. Owner, Amal, is a serious sports fan with loads of "to Amal" 49'ers signed posters. One thing about the location... I hate that parking lot. The spaces are incredibly small and its almost always nearly full. We watched a woman for 10 minutes trying to park a big SUV. Good times.
My favorite burger joint, and I know a thing or two about burgers. This place has gone through a few changes in ownerships but the burgers always remain the same. The burgers are cooked to perfection, and the condiments are always stocked and in excellent condition. The additions of shakes is welcome, but I usually come for the #5: 1/3 lb Burger, small fries, and medium soda. Great stuff.
Juicy Burger has one of the better burgers around, and there fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets and milk shakes are really good too. I ended up moving out of the area, but even then I'd make the occasional trip to get that Juicy Burger taste.

pretty decent burger place that cooks your burger upon order. the toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion are self-serve which is a great thing since i like to add a lot of tomatoes and relish to my burger.
the really bad aspect is the price. a burger can be literally $8, which is not worth the burger you're paying for. to be honest, the burger you'll eat here tastes EXACTLY like Fatburger's.
the combos here are priced rather strangely. from looking at prices, you could possibly save more by ordering items individually.
lastly, the burger may seem big, but after i had a 1/2 pound burger (which i finished in 4 minutes), i was left wanting more. it's not because it's crazy delicious, but it wasn't that filling for me.
yep... its a burger AND you got it, its juicy messy. What else, hmmm wait, nope, that's about it.
I LOVE THIS PLACE! I mean, what's not to love? The burgers are perfectly seasoned and never overcooked, the fries are always nice and hot, and the people are very friendly.
Hate pickles but want extra onions? No problem! Juicy Burger always has a fresh, fully stocked condiment bar where you can add anything from olives to dill pickles.
My only issue with this place is that when I first started eating here the bacon cheeseburgers were served with 3 strips of bacon, but now it is only served with 2 strips. I guess it's for the better...
If you are a fan of "juicy burgers" I suggest you try this. You will not be disappointed!

I just patronized Juicy Burger for the first time and thought it was fantastic. The burger was huge and cooked just right (a tiny bit of pink). The fries were excellent as well.
My only complaint is that the fountain drinks are Pepsi products.
While I was there a boy dropped his burger and fries on the floor, and the cook nicely made him another one right away.
I would recommend this place to burger lovers.
not bad but not great. The women who works there scares me.
